I guess I have played one too many WWII shooters...I could just not get into COD:WaW. I played about 75% of the campaign, then lost interest (both coop and solo). I also played multiplayer, mostly team deathmatch, up to level 25. I found most of the multiplayer maps a little annoying -- too small and circular, 'roller-rink' style, or with no useful cover. It felt a bit 'floaty' and felt too fast, more similar to COD3 multi than COD4.
I'm a big fan of COD4, both the campaign and multiplayer, but this didn't have the same feel for me. Maybe it's related to Treyarch vs. Infinity Ward as the developer, or maybe just the WWII theme...but I sent my rental copy back.
So if you, like me, are a big COD4 fan, consider a rental of this one first. I'm back to playing COD4, actually, and still love it after all these months.
